    <p>We’ve just published <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> version 0.5.0! This release is by far the
largest <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> release we’ve made so far. We finally have the Rust and
WebAssembly workflow we’ve always dreamed of. Yes, details will change in the
future (and most likely in semver-breaking ways), but <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> has found its
niche and is well on the way to filling it.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>What is <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code>? <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> is your one-stop shop for building and
testing Rust-generated WebAssembly, as well as publishing it to NPM.</p>
</blockquote>

<p><code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack build</code> is effectively incremental now. It will automatically Do The
Right Thing with <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-bindgen</code> binary installs: find the exact correct version
<em>and</em> cache installs so that re-builds are speedy.</p>

<p><code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack test</code> let’s you run Rust unit tests in Node.js or headless browsers
via the WebDriver protocol and <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-bindgen-test</code>. Furthermore, it is <em>easy</em> to
run tests in headless browsers; a task which usually involves the banging of
head to wall. But <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> will transparently download, cache, and configure
WebDriver clients for you — no more head ache.</p>

<p>Also, <a href="https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> got a Website</a> and it
has pre-built binaries for common architectures and operating systems, so
installing <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code> is a breeze 🌬️</p>

release — <a href="https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#%EF%B8%8F-050">read <code class="highlighter-rouge">wasm-pack</code>’s CHANGELOG.md!</a></p>
